As you know, the PBB Wikia's primary focus is stuff unique to PBB. The main namespace is reserved to locations, character articles and whatever unique to PBB we have sufficient content to write about. Unless major update rolls out, situations where we need to create main namespace articles are very scarce.

It seems to me that some users always ignore the rules and keep on creating spam articles of trading requests, or in rare cases, silly questions. There are blogs for each user and the forum is also open to everyone, yet they just refuse to access them. Every morning, the Admins wake up to see a spam page running and has to manually delete it. The situation is now made even worse with the "Deathbot" incident, which as you see in a few hours ago, "Deathbot"'s alternate accounts changed the strategy and attacked us by creating a lot of spam pages instead.

We are considering if we should strip the power of creating main articles from only newcomers, or all non-Administrator, non-Content Moderator users. Creations of blog or forum thread will not be affected. Please express your opinion by taking part in this vote: Strip the power of creating main articles for newcomers only, or all non-Admin users? All non-Admin, non-Content Mod users Only newcomers Do not strip please
